    I would more than glad to post something in the talk-es too, to
    gather some more mappers from the spanish-speaking community.<br>
    <br>
    I see one handicap here for spanish would-be contributors: OSM
    Tasking Manager is only in english.<br>
    <br>
    It would be a very nice idea to have it translated in different
    languages, with a menu on the top to choose your prefered language.
    I offer myself to make the translation into spanish, through
    transifex or any other means. And again, it would be important too
    to deploy an easy way to translate the description, workflow...
    texts to different languages, so we could reach more people.<br>

        I will try to write a blog for these three activations during
        the weekend.<br>
        <br>
        I already wrote to crisismappers distribution list and will
        write to Talk and Talk-fr. <br>
        <br>
        We should also try to be more public about these three
        activations. As a start we should publish these activations in
        hotosm twitter and facebook. <br>
        <br>
        I agree that we should relay the information about these three
        activations.  Let's look at what we can do about this.<br>

                  <div dir="ltr">I'll publish a blog update on Monday
                    that might encourage more people to participate; in
                    short, mapping products including osm data are being
                    provided to aid agencies working on the ground in
                    and around Syria. They look great and people are
                    really thankful that they can get osm data. A
                    definite success story and we're still in very early
                    days!</div>
                  <div dir="ltr">Thinking of the three recent
                    activations, could someone come up with an overview
                    post for the main osm blog? That should help our
                    profile within the osm community and will be the
                    sort of thing that could be disseminated to a wider
                    audience. If nothing else we might be able to gain
                    some publicity off the back of the recent MapMaker
                    coverage.</div>
                  <div dir="ltr">Speaking of blogs, I think all us
                    coordinators should be making a real effort to

                    I'm very conscious of.</div>

                    are new to both HOT and osm. If anyone reading this
                    is in Oxford, come along! If you're not in Oxford
                    organise your own event! There's free HOT stickers

                      Hi Pierre and Joseph<br>
                      <br>
                      There are 5 Mali and 3 active Syria and 7 waiting
                      Syria jobs and it seems they are really important<br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      When i am looking daily how many people are
                      mapping for HOT, i guess it will take a long time<br>
                      <br>
                      you never thought of making little promotion to
                      get more active mappers?<br>
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      i am mapping daily, but sometime it feels hopeless
                      to finished all of this jobs in a good time<br>
                      and i think, that the people need this data soon
                      (maybe i am wrong and time is enough there)<br>
